Hi,

 

I had deleted Microsoft Wifi in settings of apps because i thought it was just a nuisance for nothing to use.

Is Microsoft Wifi has any connection with internal problems soon?

 

I am worried i have deleted it without knowing what was the function of that apps to my laptop.

 

Hope you will help me with this problem.

Interesting -- as I never noticed that, but just checked my laptop, and I do have that app.

 

This is what I found out about it:  Microsoft Wi-Fi is a new feature being rolled out with Windows 10. Well, the name is new. The feature has existed under the name Skype Wi-Fi for a few years now. It's a service you can use to connect to for-pay Wi-Fi hotspots around the world without having to create an account with each Wi-Fi provider.

 

Since I don't connect to for-pay WiFi hotspots, I guess I've never used it.

I don't know what you mean by Microsoft WiFi -- but if that is the app that provides the list of detected networks and allows you to choose the one you want to use -- then yes, you should NOT have removed it.
